Thanks for the warm welcome, Jerry!
I saw a reference to CHOPTAG on a site from a lady in California (Laurel something or other) who sells heirloom tomato plants, and I did a little searching until I found the connection to Tomatoville and the CHOPTAG section. I may still order a few plants from her nursery because she had so many unusual varieties I'd like to try, but I can't afford too many plants at her prices after the shipping costs to get them here.
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone. How does the plant swap work? My father-in-law always raises way too many seedlings from the 2 or 3 varieties he's been growing for many, many years from seeds he saves from only the very biggest tomatoes, and I'm sure he'd love to pass some of those along to others. I don't think he even knows the variety name because he's raised them so long. I know one of them is a huge yellow tomato with red streaks in it that is on a very prolific plant. My wife doesn't like yellow tomatoes, but she likes this one from her dad.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
Tim
